    I really miss seeing Chong Wei on the court. He is a hero and a living legend to Malaysians.
    The way he always kiss the Malaysian flag on his jersey whenever he wins a game will always be touching to me.
    Lee Chong Wei, uniting Malaysians the way our politicians can only dream to do.
    We miss you. May you be blessed with a great health and a happy life.

    Kento must feel honoured to have played him last before his retirement even though he lost. This is iconic for lcw. I truly think LCW would have a good shot at the olympics in tokyo if the unfortunate didn't happen to him. He was in great form before retirement.

    It is too clear that in this match, LCW overshadowed Momota in terms of skill and strategy. But at 13-9 2nd round, LCW is clearly tired due to age, hence Momota caught up. Thanks to his experience, he still managed to win. And let’s not forget, this is LCW at retiring age VS Momota at his Prime.

      In team sports, you can be excused for not winning "the big one" for obvious reasons. There's no way around it for individual athletes. Their place in the GOAT conversation will depend on how many major titles they've won - in the case of badminton, Olympic and World Championship gold medals. It must be said though that winning the big one in badminton is much more difficult than in tennis because of the lack of opportunities. I can't believe LCW would have zero major titles if there were 4 "majors" per year instead of one.

      LCW has won more international titles than any other player. He was the world number one for probably more than 400 weeks, in spite of being banned for some time for negligence. No one could beat that and no one will for a long time. The world ranking is arguably a more complete and balanced metric in measuring a badminton player's greatness. I know LD has a higher head-to-head winning, but hey, just look at their records against Axelsen. LCW:VA=11:3. LD:VA=3:4. So I guess it is merely a matter of perspective with regard to who the real G.O.A.T. is.

    This was one of the best match I've had the chance to watch in a long time. Two very talented player playing in top shape (despite LCW old age). It was almost 2AM in the morning when I watched this live and the whole time I was quietly rooting for LCW. The only other time I felt the thrill of a match like this one was when LCW played LD way back at the 2012 Olympic game.
    The whole time I thought I was watching an anime brawl-out (think Prince of Tennis). Momota resemble the typical antagonist with the pimple under his right eyelid, and the thirst for a good game. And Lee Chong Wei being the main character everyone knows and love, playing at his country home at the age of 35, in front of all his fans, kids and wife. If you ask me, it would have been the perfect retirement match!
    Ps. Sorry, I watched too much anime.

    Momota: I have similar style as LD, young and at my very best/peak.
    LCW: I fought LD at his very best, beat him in Olympics 2016, 11 times Champ at my own home ground, fought Taufik, Pete Gade, Chen Long at their peak, came back from Rank 200+ after my doping accusation went up to top 5 within 5 months and I'm gonna beat you at 36 yo.

    Every time I watching this epic final between Lee n Momota, there is something to learn. Lee played very well in the 1st game, although sometimes the net was more friendly to him. This ought to be the only epic battle of the two for Lee became ill shortly after winning this tournament. I would say that he was playing his best here, probably at his peak as he might have felt his health conditions would eventually disappoint him. How lucky we can see a final like this.

    Amazed to see Lee C.W. still playing at such a level after all these years. He simply outplayed both Momota and Axelsen in the Malaysian Open, and played with such confidence. Also noted a change, and in fact improvement, in his style since he teamed up with Hendrawan (probably my favorite player in the 80's) as his head coach.

    It took him years to what he is. A very discipline, persistent and determined. I watched since his first debut many years ago, constantly shadowed by Lin Dan, but his persistence is finally paid of. I have never seen any Malaysian shuttlers with this right positive attitude in more than 50 years. There were bests players like Taufik Hidayat but with teperamental problem, Lin Dan, a bit arrogant. The players that have good attitude in and off court are Lee Ching Wei, Momota, Ahsan-Hendrawan, and Ginting. No wonder the bare great sportsmen. Malaysians shuttlers in the past were all easily carried away by their success and glamour, but not Lee Chong Wei.

He got this inherent charisma that resembles to a champion. LCW will leave the tournament proud for his legacy will continue to go on for decades to come and for the youngster, the future looks bright ahead of him! He already resembles a champion I'm sure of it! He's gonna be the next rank 1 all over the world.
